“Doing something that is so novel, and something where we could probably start making changes now, is super exciting.”

Tropical forests are increasingly at risk of fire, largely as a result of climate change and the impact of agricultural and logging practices. Ebony completed her Honours research looking at the flammability of tropical forest species and has now started a PhD extending this work.

She won the 2021 Applied Forest Ecology Scholarship for this research as well as the 2020 Sir Joseph Banks Medal for excellence in botany from James Cook University.

The Ecological Society of Australia acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. Ebony conducts her research on the traditional lands of the Yirrganydji and Yindinji peoples.
